NSRCC Par 3 Executive Course Hole By Hole Guide - Warning Pic Intensive

I thought it is worth capturing the last few moments of the course before it goes away. Good for newbies like me so you might want to go there while it is still available. Here is a pic by pic walk through. I think I am gonna miss this good short game training ground and the fantastic morning walks.

Hole 1 - relatively straight forward. Easy start for warming up





Hole 2- relatively ok too. allow you to cycle through longer irons a bit.





Hole 3 - can be intimidating as there is a water hazrard right in front of the hole. Inspires confidence if you can get it over. Lost 2 balls here. Mishit to the right lands you on the walking path.





Hole 4 - bunkers both side. Need to hit relatively straight





Hole 5 - crossing bunkers





Hole 6 - tee off from within a bunker. Need to go over another bunker before reaching the green. If you cannot hit far out of a bunker, be prepared to get stuck again







Hole 7 - quite straight forward





Hole 8





Hole 9 - longest one here. Hybrid for some.

Nice photos there.. Already starting to miss this place.. Definitely going back before it closes down..   

any idea the exact date it will close down?

Heard from the counter staff, that it is going to be in September but reduced to 5 holes.

Thanks for sharing.
Sad to see it reduce to 5 holes

Ya. Going there early mornings you practically have the course to yourself. Less intimidating for me as I am just starting out, no one breathing down your neck.

For those without PC and handicap, just need to do a swing test, uncle there quite relax, as long as you can launch the ball you are ok. They will issue you with a card valid for 6 months. about 26 bucks wekdays morning. Better than going to MBGC practice area as I cost 10 bucks there.

What?!? No corny name for hole 9? How can?

uncle, you paid 26$ as a non-member, right?

were you there alone or you were accompanied by a safra member?

i'm not a safra member.

Speculating that Hole 9 will be gone as it is the nearest to air force no. 1

its CALL ON ma . . . keke

i am confused ... =p
what is the status now ? 5 holes or 9 holes?
wanna play there one last time (9 holes) if not too late ...

It is a good course to start golf, a bit challenging, in good condition with good green comparatively to Mandai or Champions (2 other place you can play without hassle - PC or handicap) and former tanglin course (which to me was very good for beginner to learn to play straight !)

We're you there to play golf or take photos? Haha...nice photos. Thanks for sharing 2014-08-21
